A 2-mana 2/3 is pretty large, though the stat line seems to appear more and more often, and its graveyard disruption messes up a surprising number of strategies
If lethal damage is dealt to Screaming Nemesis, its last ability still triggers
When you play it early, it creates lots of tokens to build out your board state
Also note that there are significantly more new cards per deck here than there are in the typical Standard-release Commander decks, so thats fewer slots dedicated to reprints
Underrated simply means the card is better than its average play rate suggests
